One of the better things about this time of year, besides the weather, is all of the talent that seems to be popping up. School is quickly coming to an end for many students, and graduation makes for a fresh picking of creative types from everywhere.
Here are some impressive student graphics I was able to find online, which are really effective when viewed by businesses looking to add fresh talent right out of school. Take a look for yourself!
VW has revealed its newest transportation design: the bicycle. This foldable, compact electric bike has a range of a little over 12 miles, and cruises at a little over 12 mph. It derives its energy from the vehicle, not needing to plug into a socket or be removed from the vehicle to charge. I hope this concept becomes a reality.
Whether it is the use of the drink color, the material of the bottle or even the graphics of the labeling, these bottles are great examples of creative packaging.
Pebble, the breathable sleep surface by Nook, has got a really good thing going on. They have designed a soft, asymmetrical mattress surface with enough nooks and crannies to provide airflow for infants so you need not worry when you lay your baby down at night.
Named for the appearance of its functional, textured surface, Pebble is a very responsible design for parents everywhere. Oh, and it is washable, breathable, non-toxic and has a wool fire barrier, as well.
FedEx will be replacing a limited number of delivery vans in its fleet in Los Angeles this summer. They have reported that they will be introducing a few electric vehicles in order to save energy costs and fuel consumption of their land deliveries.
The new trucks look sleek and are probably a little quieter, and the price tag is a little heftier. I like it, and I hope it works out so that a larger number of these new vehicles can be introduced outside of the Los Angeles area.
Send it, seed it and water it. Have your own scaled-down version of a backyard garden in about a week. Cityscape, rural greenhouse or botanical palace; you can choose to grow your green wherever you want.
Use this blade of grass page marker to keep tabs in your favorite read. At first glance, I thought this was a cleverly disguised planter, styled as a book.
Bloom Box claims to have designed a power generator that combines oxygen and natural gas, biogas or solar energy to create electricity. ”6O Minutes” interviewed the inventor and his financial backer, who are going extremely public after years of secrecy. Among the initial companies testing the hype — Google, eBay, and Walmart. Take a look at the video for yourself.
Yeah, that’s right, a gasket for your switch plates and outlet covers. I have read where this is a great idea to maintain a seal this winter when watching heating costs. Do your own homework, but it looks like heat can make its way out from more than just windows and doors.
Harnessing energy through the action of a rocking chair is a clever way to illuminate a reading light. The Murakami Chair does just that, and even has an OLED lamp that knows when it is needed and when to store energy for later use.
